My Ascension – Special Screening Event

Light A Lamp’s Project Lift Up is dedicated to letting youth know that they are not alone, and we strive to help prevent self harm or harm to others while providing inspiration and encouragement.

On February 25th, Light A Lamp is joining several other wonderful mental health/suicide prevention organizations to sponsor a viewing of the documentary My Ascension. A suicide attempt left 16-year-old Emma Benoit paralyzed. Now, she’s on a mission to use her painful experience to help others find hope and stay alive.

This event will include a brief welcome, viewing of the documentary, a panel discussion, and conclusion. Each participant will be provided with community resources about mental health.

The screening is offered at no cost, thanks to the generous supporters of Failsafe for Life, as well as support from Light A Lamp, NAMI, STACi, Mead SD, and NC High School. If you are able to donate, a suggested donation of $15 per person is welcomed.

Due to the content of the film, youth 12-18 must be accompanied by a parent. This film is not appropriate for elementary aged children.
